Okay, I have a lot of ideas for the date, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. :)

And so the date begins...after my disclaimer thingy...

I do not own Teen Titans. Yes, it makes me cry, too.

And now it begins...

Chapter Five: Shattered Glass

Raven was beginning to feel annoyed as the minutes grew longer. She refused to say she was excited for the date, but she didn't particularly enjoy being thought of as second priority either. Her emotions were conflicting in such away that her book was all but forgotten.

She snapped the book closed and went to look in her vanity mirror. Though she had never loved her appearence, Raven thought tonight she looked okay...for what she was anyway.

Suddenly a huge crash brought Raven back from her thoughts. Thinking fast, she quickly put up a energy shield against the wave of shattered glass coming toward her.

The black shield flickered and dissapeared as Raven took a good look at the situation. She immediately wished she hadn't.

A large green raven lay in the middle of her floor with what was left of her window behind it. Broken glass littered the floor all around it.

"Did you really just smash into my window? Please tell me this is just another one of your humorless jokes."

The green raven morphed into Beast Boy...Beast Boy in nice chacki pants with a sky blue polo shirt. And just noticable, a striped clip-on tie. An even bigger surprise was the large bouquet of a dozen red roses in his gloved hands.

He shook his head experimentally spreading powdered glass on her already ruined floor. "Uh, sorry about that. You know how birds kinda fly into glass doors? Well, I guess I kinda...did the same...thing. Whoopsies. But these are for you."

Beast Boy handed the roses to Raven. She silently cursed his sweetness. She bit back her anger at the window and looked to the ceiling. Date him now, maim him later. That would work. "Let's just go, Captain Crash."

Beast Boy looked up surprised. Did he just like not get killed? Awesome! Maybe dating the sorceress would have other perks besides the dating itself. Beast Boy hid a smile as her walked over to his date and let her black aura consume him.

A deep icy cold surrounded and became him as he teleported to who knows where. A sudden last minute fear occupied his mind. What if Raven was just saving her anger until they were transported over a...a lake full of radioactive alligators! Oh no, oh no, oh no. This was horrible. Bad! It was - it was...

Perfectly fine...because he found himself in the Jump City Park. Beast Boy jumped out of the aura and did a little dance. "I'm alive! I'm alive! Everbody party cuz Beast Boy's alive!"

Raven looked down at the green super hero. "Beast Boy, I know you don't like black magic, but there's no need to be so dramatic."

Beast Boy blushed and rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Yeah, uh, our reservations are at the Stone Hard Cafe."

Raven nodded her approval while hiding how impressed she really was. "That sounds nice. Let's go."

A big goofy smile rose on Beast Boy's face as he hooked his arm with hers, completely oblivious to Raven's surprised expression.

Raven looked down at their linked arms. She considered setting the overconfident kid straight but decided to let it slide - just this once.

It wasn't like it was bothering her.

BB/Rae

Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire were all gathered in Starfire's room when they heard the crash. Starfire's bedroom had been declared headquarters simply because it wasn't crowded with techno gizmos and wanted files and was the biggest and most private room they could think of.

Cyborg stared at the room in a complete daze. "It's so...pink. And purple-y."

Robin was right behind him. "Yeah."

Starfire was right behind him. "Yes. Is it not wonderful?"

"Uh...yeah?" the two boys said in unison. Starfire accepted this as a compliment.

The three cohorts in crime (slightly ironic when you think about their profession) had just settled down to start planning when they heard a huge crash.

"Beast Boy."

Starfire was chosen to take Cyborg's listening device to Raven's room since they assumed that's where the crash had come from. Starfire flew silently to outside her door and placed the tiny silver device on the door.

Back in her room, Cyborg and Robin were listening closely through the headphones. Starfire walked back in her room to find the boys snickering.

"What has amused you so?"

Cyborg looked up. "Huh? Oh, they just left for their date, Star."

Robin tried to control the ridiculous smile on his face but failed miserably. "It turns out Beast Boy crashed through Raven's window."

Starfire covered her mouth with her hand. "But this is horrible! Raven will kill friend Beast Boy, and they will never get to go on their date!"

Cyborg chuckled. "Nah, it's okay, Star. Raven was cool about it...surprisingly."

"Oh." Starfire visibly relaxed.

"But we need to get ready," Robin said, being the leader as always. "We don't have that much time, so we should get back to planning."

Starfire and Robin turned back to their work as Cyborg silently vowed to someday get into Robin's mind and kill his inner Batman.

Haha...whoopsies. I guess the date will wait until next chapter. Heh heh. I just made a liar out of myself. Never done that one before... But until the ever so procrastinating date...

Please review!
